Hi,

I'm having problems with a muli-CD movie.
I made a play-list for all the CDs and after playing the 1st CD, it passes to the 2nd CD but no image is shown (black screen with sound).

I'm not sure it has to do with codecs because it happens only when playing on secondary monitor (TV-Out).

Does anybody knows anything about this...?

You should disable Hardware overlay. This means that your graphics card is helping to decode the movie, which lowers the CPU usage.
So search in the options of your player and disable hardware overlay!

@Bâshrat the Sneaky

Just to understand,
isn't it a good thing, if the Graphic Card is helping to lower my CPU Usage?

How does that affect the black screen when moving to the next CD?

Bâshrat the Sneaky

Jun 16 2004, 06:47 AM

Because there's another GPU for that screen, which isn't used for hardware overlay...

Looks fine to me, but I'm not sure where I can find the codec.reg file. The rar file in the first post isn't available anymore. Who can help me ? And most off all, how do I get it to run with Windows Media Player 9 instead of the classic version.

Edit, extra question

QUOTE

What software and hardware must be installed on my computer before I can run WinDVD?
* VGA graphics card with hardware overlay support (See WinDVD Graphic Chipset FAQ for more details.)
For TV output, the VGA card needs Macrovision support in order to display copyrighted DVD content.
(See the Graphic Chipsets FAQs for more details.)

...

Graphics Subsystem

The second most important component to overall performance is the graphics subsystem. The video graphics may accelerate various portions of the video decoding. Some examples are as follows: Software only playback, with all decode processing done by the CPU. Video acceleration with motion compensation performed by the graphics processor. Video acceleration with IDCT (inverse discrete cosine transform) and motion compensation performed by the graphics processor Video acceleration with VLD (variable length decoding), IDCT (inverse discrete cosine transform) ,and motion compensation performed by the graphics processor Each successive case reduces the load on the CPU. For more information on what performance to expect, refer to the FAQ about CPU expectations below.

Source: http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/AudioBooster...de=Requirements

As I told before: the GPU helps to decode the films, so the CPU hasn't to decode it on it's own.

Solution: add EXIT to the end of the CMD... (Wasn't that the obvious?)

i really dont understand. i have try this a few time, but after this i never can open a divx movie.....

I put the files (not folder) into \$OEM$\$$\System32 then i put the "codecs.reg" and "codecs.cmd" into \$OEM$\$1\install

so i must copy all the files but not the cmd and reg ones right in system32??

Then added the lines to my main .cmd of batch file, in my case its main_batch.cmd
loaded from guirunonce in winnt.sif

CODE

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0=%systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd
Command1=%systemdrive%\install\codec.cmd

that is it? registering the codec.reg are already in codec.cmd in the last line?

Congrats on the codec pack, it's really a fine job you did.

You inspired me to start learning about codecs and how they work so I could maybe one day make my own codec pack.
I am however getting very disorientated.
I am seeing codecs in the .ax, .acm and .dll file format.
As I analyzed your project and saw you included all these different formats.
When I looked closer I saw you didn't install or register any acm files with the computer but that they are in the folder.What is the use of this?

In general I would like to know what the difference is between ACM | AX and DLL codec files.
Which are best and which have encode, decode, play capabilities or don't have any of these.

I hope you or a forum user can help me on this?,
There seems to be very little information about this on the net.

@Bâshrat the Sneaky,

I finally got home, to try the overlay option, but it's still keeps playing the second CD on a black screen...

Important Info:
It happens only in full-screen.
On my LG monitor it works just fine.
I have tried playing with the overlay options.
I have DirectX 9.0b
Ati Readon 9000 PRO, Catalyst 4.7

any ideas?

if you want to know the exact codec. use Gspot (google at gspot)

i am to lazy to search for 1 codec, i use k-lite codecpack full (gspot is included in it) and it works fine.... why full? because i sometimes decode and encode a movie. if u dont, choose basic.

Ok, I am really confused about DivX.

I know 3.11alpha and 5.2 are NOT the same (in many ways).

I have heard that I need to install both 3.11alpha AND 5.2 to ensure proper playback.

If this is true, can you include divx3.11alpha?

Does anyone have more info?

[edit]
Also, in your readme you wrote:

DivX 3.11 is just needed, if you actually want to encode something.

You can also install it with your installcodecs.cmd

it can be done, but it's much easier this way. And you even get a deinstallation routine

take xvid 1.0.2 for instance, released just a couple of days ago (->koepi)
just delete the old xvid101.exe and put xvid102.exe in your folder structure. Thats it! (That way you don't need to mess around with multiple dll-files)

@swgreed:

I realsized all that...

but that's what made your codec-pack so special, the unnessesary need for installation...(I meant, just copy & reg)
in that way i didn't have to move files or start-menu shortcutsafter installation (to my needs)

installing those codec silently (the regular way) can be done with all other codecs, so why not download them manually, & installed them all old-fashioned way...?

To create a "REG_EXPAND_SZ" (that's the values showing up with "hex(2):...." I think the easiest method is to
1) run REGEDIT, create an expandable "test" key and put in the string value - including system vars, of course - which you'd like
2) export said key to a .reg file and you'll get the "hex(2)...." expandable string value format.

Things seem to be a bit different when the value *name* needs to be set according to a system variable - I can't find any way to do this with a .reg import.
That's why to stuff a sys var into

CODE

;"C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\iac25_32.ax"="Indeo® Audio Software"

I use the "reg add" command in the batchfile:

CODE

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc" /v "%systemroot%\system32\iac25_32.ax" /d "Indeo® Audio Software" /f

will do the job.

Note: in this codecreg version "gspot" is placed in %programfiles%\gspot, not in %systemroot%\system 32.

HTH.

@swgreed

isn't it a matter of codecs? why change the player...?

quicktime brings it's own codecs (that are not in the codec pack) and so does powerdvd

@swgreed i'll try Quicktime or powerDVD & report...

Can this codec-pack be executed within Win98?

hi, i have 2 questions.....

1. i integrated your codecs in my winxp, and it worked perfectly (already installed it on two pc's). so why not make this thread as a sticky? everyone should integrate this codecs in his windows

2. so i just have one problem: xvid 1.02 installs silently, everything no problem. but when i restarted once (or twice...?), after logon an error occurs which tells me...D:/windows/xvid 1.02 cannot be found, plz make sure the installation path is right...blabla. but xvid is installed anyway....any ideas?

greetings from germany

maybe it's best to get rid of the xvid installer and just integrate xvid.ax and it's dll's again...

maybe you can find some information about your problem in the registry (autostart/run/runonce folders or here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\XviD_is1]

oh i think,

it would be very cool if u integrate quicktime and real in it!

my 2 cents:

1) try to avoid installers; integrate as many as you can yourself. You mentioned the problem of having to upgrade the dll's each release, but you would have to upgrade the codec pack anyway to include the new installer... The simpler the processes for the user, the less that can go wrong.

2) I know you are against quicktime and real integration, but I'm sorry - I'm with lieblingsbesuch on this one. It'll make your codec pack even more universal and perfect.

In \$OEM$\$$\System32, I just have
3ivxDSDecoder.ax and 3ivx.dll
Then in RunOnceEx.cmd I have
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "regsvr32 /s 3ivxDSDecoder.ax" /f

I can play DivX, XviD and 3ivX using 3ivxDSDecoder.

That's it.

P.S:

If you like XviD, then same procedure as above. i.e.

xvid.ax and xvidcore.dll in \$OEM$\$$\System32
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "regsvr32 /s xvid.ax" /f

That's it.

any reason NOT to do this? Are the "originals" better?

If you not encoding DVDs to 3ivX/DivX/XviD and only need just playback support, I guess it is okay. It has never failed me.

It would be nice, if 3ivxDSDecoder.ax and 3ivx.dll are in the next version from this codec pack would be integrated (you can call this a feature request

), and you could kick this xvid 1.02 installer to hell!
